Reddit CEO defiant as moderator strike shutters thousands of forums: 'We made a business decision that we’re not negotiating on'

Yep. Because them forcing/strong-arming subs to reopen definitely speaks to the Reddit admins believing this is not changing anything.

Even if a vast majority of people don't protest because they're simply lurkers, the problem is it's the power users, the ones who generate quality content and moderate their subs for free who are protesting.

If I were Reddit, that's the bit I'd be worried about.
